Also I can't see Valve pumping out a new character every 2 weeks to sacrifice quality and throw out the balance of the game. I'm hoping their character implementation will still be at a good rate and won't be a complete shitstorm like Riots is.

I like a new champ every two weeks but when you think about what little else they do, that isn't alot of work lol

I phrased that sentence badly. What I mean is that I think Valve would be able to keep up that rate of champion output whilst also improving many other aspects of the service. I'm also thinking they might offer it as F2P with large purchase packs like LoL do or premium membership like WoT where you have specific benefits due to paying; I'll assume these won't throw out game balance but just give you access to more portions of the game.

God I hope the retards that want Dota 2 to be different to what DOTA currently is, to just stay on whatever respective game they already play.

Too bad, because they'll be playing DOTA 2 initially in droves.

To even suggest that agi/str/int heroes aren't equally relevant to the game is a pretty retarded comment to make. Maybe try play the game to a decent level before you make clueless cmoments.

You act like you've never played DOTA at all. INT drop way down in relevance by end game, due to how riced AGI become. Its a pretty shitty feeling when one fed AGI carry can take out your whole team and you don't stand a chance and its definitely a flawed system. They need to implement some balance in DOTA2 with INT scaling and toning down AGI a notch.

It's hard to even fathom how terrible the game would be if you had to buy heroes to play like LoL or have horrible heroes introduced every few weeks just to try maintain interest in the game.

It's not terrible at all. Maybe for cheapskates it'd be a problem, but for those of us that appreciate the time that these games soak up for us, $5 every couple of weeks for a new hero is chicken feed.

So yeah, what cle said above anyway, if you want it to be identical to DOTA, why are you getting so excited about it? I guarantee it won't be the carbon copy you're looking for.
